I am looking for a good rhubarb recipe. I have never made one and want to try making one.

Let me get back to you My Mom makes the best Rhubarb pie I have ever eaten!

That would be great, Thanks. You can send a pm or post it.

I have an awesome strawberry rhubarb pie recipe if you are interested. Let meknow and I will send it too you.

Please post the recipes, I'd like to have copes of both recipes. Thank you, Carol

Thanks so much I am really looking for just a rhubarb pie but please post it because it sounds really good too.

My favorite pie! My husband says there is no such thing a good rhubarb pie. My grandmother made it like applesauce and had it on toast. We have a cafeteria that has wondeful pie. I have bought the whole ones for dinners.

Ok this is my moms Rhubarb pie recipe It is a family favorite and we can't wait for the Rhubarb to be ready. In fact I made one a couple weeks ago in Ohio for my son.

Rhubarb Custard Pie
1 1/2 C sugar
1/4 C flour
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
dash salt
3 eggs beaten
4 C rhubarb cut into 1 inch chunks
Pastry for 9 inch pan
Line Pie pan with pastry. Mix all ingredients together and place in pastry lined pan. Dot with butter. Adjust top crust cutting slits for steam to escape. Seal edges. Bake at 400* for 50 minutes. Serves 6

This is my husband's favourite pie, it is especially good made with the early spring rhubarb. I can hardly wait for it to grow!

Rhubarb Custard Pie
4 cups rhubarb
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour
3 eggs
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Mix the eggs, flour, sugar and nutmeg together. Add rhubarb. Pour into a bottom pie crust and dot with 2 tbsp butter. Top with a lattice crust, or one with holes cut out. I like to brush it with milk then sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake at 400* for about 50 minutes.

I have another really good recipe for a rhubarb dessert that I will post here too. It is really easy and serves a lot of people.

3/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp flour
5 cups rhubarb
Mix together and pour over the hot base. Bake at 350* for 45 minutes.

4 egg whites
6 tbsp sugar
Whip egg whites until stiff and add the sugar to make a meringue. Spread over the hot cake. bake at 350* for an additional 10 minutes, until the meringue is brown.

These 2 recipes are well loved family favourites, enjoy!

Wonderful! Thanks everyone. I just have to wait for the rhubarb now.

Now you know it is a good pie when two of us type the same recipe at the same time. One just has a little more nutmeg than the other!!

Do you want rhubarb-2-crust or rhubarb cream pie?
I have both.Marta

I would take both if that is okay. Thanks for taking the time to post your recipes everyone.

I have a great recipe that was my grandmothers but it is at my house and I am currently away from home for a couple of days and I don't trust my memory. I am from Iowa and love rhubarb but live in florida now and cannot get any. When I get home I will post the recipe for you.

This is the same wonderful recipe I use. Got it out of the red checkered cookbook years ago, and like it so much I have never bothered to try any other. Yummmm!!!

If you don't like the custard part, here is a good rhubarb pie....

4 cup rhubarb - cut into 1/2" pieces
1 1/2 - 2 cup sugar
6 Tbsp. flour (double if rhubarb is frozen)
Mix together and put into double crust pie.
Bake at 425 for 40-50 min

Now all I have to do is wait for the rhubarb!!! Thanks again everyone.

I love strawberry rhubarb pie and would love the recipe too.

I make the rhubarb pie similar to this but instead of flour....add tapioca...it really gives no flavor but adds the thickening much better and easier to mix in than flour in my opinion. I also add a couple of drops of red food coloring just to give the hint of redness in the rhubarb. Mom and I have been doing this for as long as I can remember. We also use tart cherries using the tapioca and everyone absolutely raves over these pies. (They have even taken purple ribbons at county fairs.)

Rhubarb Suprise Pie
3 cups diced rhubarb
1 (30z.) box strawberry flavored gelatin
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup margarine (melted)
one unbaked pie shell
Arrange rhubarb in pie shell. Sprinkle with gelatin. Combine remaining ingredients. Sprinkle on top of pie. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes or until rhubarb is tender.

LOL -- I just went to get my cookbook for the Rhubarb custard pie, and now read that others put the same recipe in! It's my favorite, too...in fact, I just made one the other day.

HINT: Rhubarbs come in different varieties. The big thick heavy red stalks make the sweetest. Peel off any fibrous red that's too thick and yucky. The green stalked variety makes a more tart pie.

Thanks I didn't know that.

You're welcome. I forgot to mention to NOT do what I did. I had my mind on a quilt I'm working on, walked by the dish of rhubarb and popped one in my mouth.......now I don't care WHAT color rhubarb is, it's REALLY tart when it's raw and no sugar!!! WHOOOEEEE!!!! I think my face froze that way!

:shock:

thanks for the recipes

I just cut up the rhubarb ad strawberries sugar and some cornstarch and bake..

RHUBARB JAM

4 cups rhubarb
4 cups sugar
1 cup crushed pineapple OR 1 10-ounce pkg frozen strawberries (sweetened).

Cook til rhubarb is soft. Take off heat and stir in 1 pkg. (3 oz.) strawberry (or raspberry) jello powder.

Pour into jars. Cover with paraffin, or can with lids. It can be frozen.

I just store mine in the frig and it keeps for months!!

(1 1/2 pkg jello makes it thicker, or add another cup of fruit and use 2 pkg. Jello.)

(Had to add this recipe to rhubarb discussion, since I make it every year!!)
